This book will make your journey a little easier by offering effective tools and Insider Tips to Stay in the Game! Research suggests an impending crisis is in store for school leaders. Many quality educators shy away from the job and our nation's school districts are in desperate need of quality principals, district leaders, and superintendents. Many leaders are promoted too soon without adequate training and only last a year or two. The job is difficult and takes an enormous amount of expertise, dedication, and leadership competency to succeed. Note to Superintendents: Purchase this book for every school administrator in your school district.

This book offers practical advice leaders can use to build their leadership skill set and stay at the top of their educational leadership game. Sometimes, it's the small things that leaders may not even be aware of or soft skills not taught in your administration courses that go unmentioned in leadership circles.

Readers will learn:

How to recognize leadership areas that can hurt them professionally

How to target behaviors that can cause followers to turn in a negative direction

How to successfully leverage winning leadership strategies to make a difference for students and stay at the top of their leadership game.

And sometimes, it's the small things that you may not even be aware of, or soft skills not taught in your administration courses, that go unmentioned in leadership circles."
